7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonc SGHENK, a citizen of the German .ldepublic residing at Nuremberg, Germany, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Methods for Producing Oak Imitation by Deep P01: ing Upon Common Wood and Upon Metal Surfaces, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention has for its object a method for producing oak imitation by deep poring upon connnon wood and metal surfaces. This method can be used for giving to pieces of furniture made from common wood the appearance of oak furniture. it can further be used for giving the appearance of oak wood to metal surfaces. In both cases a soft ground is produced upon the surfacesby means of an oil containing mass, whereupon by means of convenient devices oak veinings are deeply impressed in this soft ground so that the veinings will be everlasting.

The invention makes it possible to use for furniture and other purposes common wood so that the cost of n'ianufacture is considerably reduced.

The method consists in coating the surface of the wood or the surface of a metal piece with a layer of a material which contains oil and which is adapted to be brought on with Specification of Letters )Patent.

Application filed August 5, 1921.

a spatula, this layer being of any convenient thickness; whereupon the coating is painted with oil colour and varnished. In the surface thus prepared the oak veining is im pressed deeply by means of rollersor other devices of convenient construction which carry the pattern in relief, whereupon the surface is stained and matted.

Owing to this improved method wood can be used which is full of knots, as the knots are covered by the thick coating.

I claim A method for the production of oak imitation upon common wood or metal surfaces by deep wiring. consisting in covering the entire surface with a layer of an oil containing mass adapted to be brought on with a spatula, in painting this coating with oil colour and in varnishing the same, in treating the thus prepared surface with convenient intruments for producing deep pores imitat-- 111g oak veining', in staining and in matting the surface.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
